Hi everyone...

I would like to post .PDF files (made from MS-WORD documents) on my web site where visitors can "download" them to their machine. I have the resources to convert the files into .PDF format. What's the easiest way to accomplish this, without the visitor having to jump through a thousand hoops?

I do not want/or need password protection... ideally the visitor would just click on an icon and BAM... the file would be automatically downloaded to their computer.

My documents do include color .JPGs, .GIFs (photos & Artwork).

this will cause it to open up.

You could put a "right click save as" label incase they want to save it or if you could just stick it in a zip file for them to download it.
